Review: "...this one actually helped to recreate the same PH level the sperm are used to"
Review: "Swim spermies, swim!"
We wanted to share with you this review taken from the Conceive Plus page on Amazon.com: "This product maybe a little expensive but it's totally worth it. I bought the conceive plus lube when my husband and I decided to start our family in March 2011. I had read that normal lubes killed sperm and this one actually helped to recreate the same PH level the sperm are used to in the scrotum so they can survive longer when trying to reach the egg. Other fertility lubes, such as PreSeed are advertized only as a vaginal moisturizer. I became pregnant the first cycle we used this lube. My Husband wasn't too crazy about it because it dried up faster than regular lubes and wasn't quite as slippery, but it still got the job done. I contribute getting pregnant so quickly to using this lube during the fertile part of my cycle. I would and have recommended this lube to my friends that are also TTC their little ones. And we still have a ton of it left and will continue to use it as we TTC our future little ones."

Standard lubricants often have a pH level and osmolarity that can be hostile to sperm, potentially damaging their motility and viability. Fertility-friendly lubricants like Conceive Plus are specifically formulated to match the pH and ionic balance of seminal fluid, creating an environment where sperm can survive longer and swim more effectively towards the egg.
What is the difference between fertility lubricants and vaginal moisturisers?
Fertility lubricants are specifically designed to support sperm survival and are used during intercourse around your fertile window, whilst vaginal moisturisers are general hydration products for ongoing vaginal dryness. Some products, like PreSeed, are marketed primarily as moisturisers rather than fertility-specific lubricants, so it's important to check the product's intended use when trying to conceive.
Is it safe to use fertility lubricants when trying to conceive in the UK?
Yes, fertility-specific lubricants are considered safe for use during conception attempts. However, it's always advisable to check the product has been tested for sperm compatibility and to consult your GP or fertility specialist if you have any concerns, particularly if you're receiving treatment through the NHS or a registered HFEA fertility clinic.
How much does fertility lubricant cost in the UK, and is it worth the investment?
Fertility lubricants typically cost between £15-25 per tube in the UK, which may seem more expensive than regular lubricants. Many users find them worthwhile when actively trying to conceive, as the cost is minimal compared to fertility treatments, and some couples report success in their first cycle of use.
Should I use fertility lubricant throughout my cycle or only during my fertile window?
Fertility lubricants are most beneficial when used during your fertile window—the five days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. Using it at other times in your cycle won't harm your conception chances, but timing it with ovulation maximises its potential benefits for sperm survival and motility.
Can I use fertility lubricant if I'm undergoing fertility treatment at an NHS clinic?
Many NHS-funded fertility clinics and private HFEA-registered clinics do not discourage the use of sperm-friendly lubricants during natural conception attempts. However, you should always inform your fertility specialist about any products you're using and follow their specific guidance, as some treatment protocols may have particular recommendations.
What should I look for when choosing a fertility lubricant in the UK?
Look for lubricants that are explicitly labelled as sperm-friendly or fertility-friendly, with a pH level matching that of seminal fluid (around 7-8), and ideally sourced from reputable UK retailers or clinics. Checking for independent reviews on sites like Mumsnet or seeking recommendations from your fertility clinic can also help ensure you're choosing an appropriate product.
